Pixel art Kubernetes GPU cluster with two servers, cyan GPU interconnects, and a violet network fabric

Kubernetes GPU Platform Engineering: From nvidia-smi to NCCL

A simple, layered guide to GPUs on Kubernetes: GPU Operator, NUMA and PCIe, RDMA, SR-IOV and Multus, NVLink and NCCL, with a troubleshooting question for every layer.

Pixel art laptop with a winged messenger robot exchanging requests with a gem-shaped model chip

Hermes Agent + LM Studio Bionic: Running Gemma 4 Locally

A Windows walkthrough of Hermes Agent connected to LM Studio Bionic with Gemma 4 E4B: local inference, custom endpoint settings, tool use, and the checks that confirm it works.

Pixel art processor turning unstructured documents into parallel decision paths and probability indicators

TypeSafe’s Jev: Early Access to AI Built for Decisions

My early-access look at TypeSafe’s Jev: Noul, Choice, and Score in the playground, the coding-agent skill, and what the performance claims do and do not establish.

Pixel art orchestration hub coordinating three independent Kubernetes server islands

What Is Karmada? Kubernetes Across Clusters, Explained with YAML

Karmada's CNCF graduation, its multi-cluster architecture, and practical YAML for placement, replica splitting, overrides, and failover.

Pixel art cache vault reusing stored memory blocks across three GPU servers

Why LMCache Exists: Stop Making GPUs Read the Same Context Again

An example-driven guide to LMCache: repeated prefill, KV cache reuse, CPU offloading, multi-replica serving, and where caching actually helps.

oMLX vs Ollama vs vMLX vs MLX-LM: Local LLMs on Apple Silicon

My local LLM picks for Apple Silicon: oMLX first, Ollama second, vMLX third, and official MLX-LM fourth. Setup commands and the benefits of each.

AI and LLM Glossary: Common Terms in Plain English

A beginner-friendly AI and LLM glossary with short definitions, everyday examples, and a clickable table of contents for every term.

Pixel art GPU server packing memory pages and serving many parallel token streams

Why vLLM Is Dominating the AI Inference Market

How PagedAttention, continuous batching, hardware portability, and an open ecosystem made vLLM the default engine for high-throughput LLM serving.

Pixel art AI agent looping through code, tools, files, and results

What the heck is an AI Agent?

A practical explanation of agentic AI, agent harnesses, tool loops, context growth, and why agents cost more to run.

Pixel art showing a question becoming tokens, passing through a neural-network chip, and emerging as an answer

What Happens When You Ask an LLM a Question

My visual notes on how LLMs work: tokens, parameters, attention, reasoning, KV cache, quantization, and serving models on GPUs.
